Other than the pretty decent lineup, including two nights of The National, I did not know what I was getting myself into. I have heard so-so things about Ohio. But, not only was the venue of the fest (outside, next to the Ohio River) was perfect (a little chilly at night on Saturday), but the entire experience was probably the best that I have ever had (2nd to my first Montreal trip in 2004), from how clean the park/city was, the beautiful bridges I had to take to walk to and from my hotel, to the rooftops and nightlife the city has to offer. A couple of things that I enjoyed about the fest was location, cleanliness, to art and cool features of the park, set up of stages, food tents, etc, no sets overlapped like other music fests, the age of the crowd (not a bunch of teenagers wasted on booze and other drugs and making me feel fucking old [I'm 34] like I do at Lollapalooza in Chicago, where I'm from), and the ticket price. I fell in love with the city after this trip. I am actually considering moving there. If I do or don't, I hope they bring back Homecoming next year and many years to come. I will continue to go based on this last experience and assuming no major changes (for the worst) in the future. Good job on an amazing and successful experience!
